I don't have write access to glibc.git so I guess you need to push the patch. -- >8 -- Since Linux 4.9, the kernel provides /proc/sys/user/max_{mnt,pid,user}_namespace as a limitation of number of namespaces. Some distros (for example, Slint Linux 14.2.1) set them (or only max_user_namespace) to zero as a "security policy" for disabling namespaces. The clone() call will set errno to ENOSPC under such a limitation. We didn't check ENOSPC in the code so the test will FAIL, and report: unable to unshare user/fs: No space left on device This message is, unfortunately, very unhelpful. It leads people to check the memory or disk space, instead of finding the real issue. To improve the situation, we should check for ENOSPC and return UNSUPPORTED as the test result. Also refactor check_for_unshare_hints() to emit a proper message telling people how to make the test work, if they really need to run the namespaced tests.
